Historically we've done the opposite. Just found a new way to torment our fans.

I mean yeah its going to be Sydney or Perth

 

[NYRB]

here is an idea for the BBL to increase crowds at the MCG. Hand out free KFC for all spectators.

Put your house on Sydney Sixers tomorrow night $1.66 against Melbourne renegades (bet 365)

Zamps did not look or sound well.

You can just see Sydney getting g hit by Covid on the eve of the finals and instead of having to go to the reject pile like the Stars, CA will call the season off and give them the title.

Third rate side loses to a third rate side, I'd say it was pretty even overall.

Stars only 3rd rate because there gun players are hit and miss. Enough talent to be alot higher than they are. If Stoinis gets back in and catches fire finally how good is the opening pair compared to everyone else?. Big show and Cartwright a good middle order. NCN and Rauf as frontliners plus there spinners. It's a good team that just habitually underperforms.

Smith, Warner, Starc, hazelwood, Lyon, Cummins will all magically become available

Matt Short plays for Victoria, the Strikers are based here but are hardly South Aussie.

Plenty of SA players are not from SA but still it's the culture of SA cricket.

‘Rested’ from Australian duties but free to play BBL?

 

[NYRB]

serious question are we at a stage where now if covid hits during the Finals of the cricket, we may potentially see 3rd rate cricketers playing for the teams?

Draft non finalists

 

[NYRB]

Draft non finalists

Imagine Glenn Maxwell or Ben McDermott playing for the Sixers or Perth as a non-finalist. It would be a joke.

 

[NYRB]

actually thinking about it again, that would make sense drafting 'non-finallist'.

Can see it now. They’ll get hit by covid and just draft Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood into the squad plus their selection of the best players who have already been eliminated

Throw in Root and Stokes sticking around as imports and that would give me a huge chuckle.

 

[NYRB]

this may be a suggestion but with the message from the government to be staying home unless requiring to go out for essentials. Is the message to Victorians to stay away from the cricket?

Been reading in Sydney that the city is a bit of ghost town in social media.
